izemum Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Hi, Do any of you have multiple colours? Can I get some advice as to which colour weathers the best - Green or purple would be my first choice but I have seen a lot of faded green cubes on ebay. Do all colours fade so much? Thanks!

Bramble Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I have a purple cube and a purple classic - classic was new when I had it, the cube was a reconditioned one from Omlet - I don't think either has faded particularly badly - the insides still look much the same colour as the outside, as far as I can tell! The Omlet sunshades tend to fade terribly though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I have a blue and a green eglu (although I think blue is discontinued now) which are both over 5 years old. Both colours look pretty much the same as new apart from a few scratches (my fault) and a thick layer of dust (the hens' fault)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I have a purple eglu classic and cube both from new 7 years old now and a second hand purple eglu classic. They all seem to have kept their colour well. Today I cleaned a green classic eglu ready for my ex batts that one I bought second hand a couple of years ago but have never used it until now, that definitely has faded as around the door opening which is normally protected by the door is some shades darker. It still looks good but not as dark a shade as it was originally. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 It depends on what you're getting. I think the Go does fade faster than the Cube/Classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izemum Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Thanks for your input - todays choice is purple, but it maybe green by tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I still hanker after a purple eglu . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Purple in the classic/cube doesn't fade. i would avoid the Go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izemum Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 How about Red cubes? Does anyone know if they fade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I know someone with a red classic, which has faded; as they are made from the same material, I think its reasonable to assume that the cube might too. It would all depend on the amount of sunlight where you situate it though.... it's not advisable to keep chickens in direct, full sunlight, so if you position your housing in dappled light, then it is less likely to be affected.
